The Tragedy of a Commons: The Depletion of Common Fisheries
[ send me this essay ]
An 11 page overview of the problems which face fisheries on a world wide basis as a result of over fishing. Provides detailed statistics on various fisheries and introduces the concept of "tragedy of the commons" in which the world's excess of fishermen competing for the same fish stocks insures a fisherman must work harder to maintain a level of income. Under the "tragedy of the commons" the fisherman takes what he can get in order to reap immediate benefits rather than risk losing the catch to another fisherman. All too often he does so despite his knowledge that a particular fishery is already endangered. Concludes that in order to change this scenario we must change the incentives and penalties which are currently offered. We must make conservation a goal not just of conservationists but also of fishermen. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Value of Biodiversity
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining whether the US should be committed to preserving individual plant and animal species. Preservation of individual species absolutely is a worthy pursuit to which the US should dedicate itself. The current system is much too adversarial, pitting the "tree huggers" against the interests of the capitalist base that has kept the country in the longest period of economic expansion it has ever known. Economists have placed the value of the entire world ecosystem at an average of $33 trillion annually; assessing proposed actions in terms of dollar amounts could be useful in providing a frame of reference that policymakers and non-scientists currently do not have.
